You don’t need to buy food every day, or do laundry, or hoover, clean/tidy. Meditating is not for everyone and for some people even socialising is not a daily necessity.
Cook and wash up 3x daily - this is also crazy. If it is supposedly a workday, you won’t be home for lunch. And you don’t want to or have to cook every time you’re home, and for the dishes, there exist dishwashers (if you don’t have one, make sure you get one, this is the single best thing that happened to us if we talk about chores. We had a 12+people party yesterday, and it only took 2 runs to not think about dishes, over than 30mins for putting them into the washer).
I think the washing machine edges out the dishwasher but they are my 1 and 2. If I had to live on a deserted island and could only take two things with me it’s my washing machine and dishwasher.
Oh, sorry, I both was born in and live in a place where a washing machine is something that is there by default. Yes, this is not given, and in this case washing machine is more important
No, no! Everyone can afford what you’ve always had. They’re clearly just too lazy, unlike the perfect billionaires you’ll never have an unkind word for.
Are you ok? I just humbly confirmed that I considered something I’ve always had a given, where it is not. The billionaires thing: do we know each other?
Also, what I always had, I’ve had in different forms. Like, when I was a kid, we had this Siberia-6 washing machine, which was ok for the Soviet Union that was crumbling into pieces around us, but by the western standards, the technology was like something from the 60s. It was such shit that I washed my socks by hand, does it count?
I also wore said socks until they had giant holes in them, same as my sweaters. I was only talking about this with my billionaire friends, but now you also know.
No. I don’t accept that widespread burnout is anything more than a sign of a profoundly sick society in which the only future anyone is working towards is just more and greater exploitation. I don’t see that changing for the better, ever.
I don’t really get where you going - you’ve sent a lump of comments about some “widespread burnout” - I know there is a lot of stuff that’s broken in the world, but you are not giving details to what exactly you are talking about. “Sick society” - are you from US? Because not all societies are sick now.
I understand that you’re bitter about the world, and that you suffer from how things are going, but why do you spill poison on me just for saying something about fucking washing machines? Did I do something to you?

Dude, if you read the post the thread’s about and don’t sympathize, consider that it might be like how you assumed everyone owns a washing machine.
Even then, you can socialize during a lot of this, too. Cook with friends. Have community meals. Socialize with coworkers. Etc.
Edit: It’s funny, I’ll say ‘Unionize’ and anyone with half a brain will cheer, but the second I say “Hey maybe it would be good to build actual community with people you want to build defenses against capitalism with,” I’m the bad guy
